Host Brian Wesolowski first sits down with Kimberly Tignor, the Executive Director of the Institute for Intellectual Property and Justice. She highlights the work of the Institute and shares stories of how creators of all kinds have benefited from their efforts.

Then, Brian takes you into our just-wrapped 2019 Future of Speech Online. At the event led by CDT, we asked six speakers to share what the future of speech looks like for a diversity of speakers. Here's the first three of those speakers, with the others coming in our next episode:

* Abdulhamit Bilici, exiled Turkish journalist

* Amber Baldet, Clovyr

* Hoda Hawa, Muslim Public Affairs Council
